Trojan Boat Forum

Were past hump day and the weekend is in site. When I bought my yard gnome it did not have the hatches for the engine acess " big hatch" and the rudder access hatch " small one" the po had utilized that plastic decking you use on homes and trying to find the originals somewhere ....

I have a 300 watt inverter connected to a deep cycle 12v on my blow boat and I don't have a charger . I have used it to brew coffee , run the 19" plasma and dvd AND surround sound , normally no more then 2-3 days and Ive never had the batt drain. Now on the Trojan the plan was to install a 700 ...

I was pricing out marine grade non skid vinyl. however if you are leaning towards reg. in home sheetgoods I can see it being a serious slip issue . that being said if you still head down that road I would suggest a fiberfloor vinyl, these were designed to install atop of existing sheetgoods. They do...

plans here are to use non skid paint shot in. I'm looking for the no up keep method. Theres enough on a boat to maintain as it is . I did price out the non skid sheetgoods but it got pretty pricey and even moreso when purchasing the special adhesive it call for . wood is awesome but I don't have the...

Well Sunday noon and just finished the house wiring in the boat. hindsight I might have planned this part of the rebuild prior to completing the interior. Most of the chasing went ok but one outlet I installed high on the port side of the anchor locker was a pain to wire. chased the line inside by t...

thanks a lot for the input. I just went down and grabbed a few things I left off the list. now as for the breakers themselves can you still get this type that was original to this boat?
As I see there is room to add more breakers but unknown if these are a special type? thanks again

Hi guys/gals ? quick question I purchased all the outlets/boxes/wiring and misc stuff to start the rewiring of the boat. I plan on having a total of 7 outlets on this boat , not all will be drawing at once but question is can I utilize the electrical panel as is or do I need to add breakers? are the...

Another question here. As the project boat here 1979 "f26" had the engine removed prior to my purchase I have some issues with stringers . The original engine was a 318 that the po removed for whatever reason and he installed a 440 , then he sold it to a guy named Jon. Jon got the boat and...

Sorry to hear about that , BUT looking at it from the cup half full you purchased a Trojan boat :D . Annnnnnd you were able to take a ride in the boat once you got it , Some fools " like me for instance" bought a Trojan boat on the hard , transported it home and have been rebuilding it for...

Well got out of work early yesterday and got some more accomplished . had the new Trojan sticker but had heck of a time getting the raised gel coat flush due to the old sticker being there so long. I used wet/dry paper 400 grit and was able to get the surface flush to prevent anything of the old sti...

thanks for the comments. As for the hardwood floor mine is an engineered hardwood "santos mahogany" this way I can replace pieces as needed due to scratches/dents ect. . The Mrs helped up with the cleaning after the bulkhead and used furniture polish on all the wood including the floor and...

well I got the bug and some time to climb back in and chip some more. I was able to get the flybridge windshield done and had it installed this afternoon. I while waiting for the canvas guy managed to get down below and tie up some loose ends. first was the front bulkhead bout 8 hours into it and ha...

thanks for the ans. knew it had to be something I was missing. sent some pics to Bob to see if its the type I need for the boat and maybe get lucky and check that off the 100 things left to obtain
